An 39-year-old Barnesville woman has been arrested and charged with first degree vehicular homicide and hit and run in connection with the death here Saturday night of Gordon State College student Alexandra Noelle Desir.

Desir, 20, was walking to her job at Huddle House from her dorm at Gordon when she was struck from behind and left to die on the sidewalk.

Shame on these lowlife scums. Who knows what else they've done that they've covered up?
This will in no way bring back the lovely young victim. I pray for peace and comfort for Alexandria's family. She was a student with a job, a productive citizen. Which, if we delve into the backgrounds of Sumner and King, will probably not be the case.

Who was actually driving the car? Anyone else riding with them? What, if any, was their reason for not stopping? Can tests determine if those arrested had alcohol/drugs in their system the night this innocent person was killed? My heart goes out to the victims family and loved ones. She was a student who was also working, trying to make a good life for herself. Even if the driver wasn't sure what they hit, its been all in the news, why not come forward? NO excuses.

Great Police Work. Within just a matter of days this needle in the haystack was found an arrest was made. I have a hard time swallowing the various defenses already being kicked around. Folks if you hit something in the roadway with enough force to damage your vehicle you are going to at least attempt to find out what it was. This young lady did not disappear after being hit and thank God the folks came right back on their same route and found her. Even if the strike caused instant death, I find it hard to believe that a human being in our society would just leave the deceased for someone else to find.......unless they did so in an effort of self preservation. This young lady had a bright future and was out working her way through one of the most rigorous programs at Gordon which makes this all the more sad.

And I agree..... initially this may have been an accident. It turned to an incident and subsequently a crime when the driver made a conscious decision to drive away after striking a human beingand attempt to keep the evidence concealed by removing the vehicle from the area and failing to notify authorities.

I ask to the hunters out here she thought she hit a deer so what deer wears black and red clothes I am praying for the family of Alex and the Sumner family they are both sharing pain.And to Alexiandra's mother my deepest condolences to you and your family ....

Praying for this young woman and her family. Hats off to all Law Enforcement involved. No Comment about the heartless trash that left the scene of the accident.
This needs to be a wake up call to Drunk drivers, People driving under the influence of drugs, and Aggressive drivers who, Speed and Tailgate. Think for a moment how you may impact someones life, and their family. The drinking and driving is out of Control, if you don't believe me, pick up your street, or road of litter. Then a week later do it again and see how many beer cans, beer bottles, and liquor bottles you will pick up. You will be amazed.

A heart felt THANK YOU to all the Law Enforcement Officers who arrested the heartless
person who left that poor girl lying on the road. I have hit a deer before and I stopped.
I most certainly wouldn't have left any human
being to die on their own.
I am praying for Alexandria's family as they
have to lay their child to rest.
Please Lord don't let this drag out as long as
the Anderson hit and run has because it's so hard on the family.

I DONT HAVE MUCH FAITH IN THE LAMAR COUNTY LAW,THE LADY THAT WAS DRIVING DRUNK LAST YEAR AND HAD THE WRECK ON BARNESVILLE YATESVILLE RD THAT LIKE TO HAVE KILLED HER KIDS DIDN'T EVEN GET A TICKET I WONDER IF THEY WILL PROCECUTE THIS LADY FOR KILLING THIS POOR GIRL!!!!!!

Maybe they felt sorry for her because she "like to have killed her kids". Perhaps you could direct your inquiry to the investigating agency if you believe she wasn't even given a ticket for driving drunk. Please let us know what you find out because, if what you say is true, it is a miscarriage of justice. By the way, I am curious.... what is "Lamar County Law"?

I think we all know when people leave the scene of an accident it is almost always because they have outstanding warrants, have no license, have no insurance, or (most often) are impaired. The penalty for leaving should be significant mandatory jail time and no license for a long, long, time.
